Job(s) you don't main for good reasons?

[KaijinRhada]

I don't main healing jobs as I'm only just adequate at it (maybe), and it's not my cup of tea.

[Jirah]

DNC and MCH

One being very bare bones and just boring to play and heavily automatic with lame mechanics drawing close to pointless (steps, talking about the steps)

And the other just as boring but dysfunctional like they made the most people pleaser job and have no clue how to improve it despite hundreds of viable options

Both can’t stand due to their immense popularity while pissing on MNK, SMN, BRD, SAM, NIN and BLM for having the nerve to require a attention span. And somehow are always the first to die on fights but now I’m just being petty. SMN in Ew will likely join this little marry band of starter jobs for beginners

Don't be like this. While "girly" might not be the best term, WHM and DNC are very feminine jobs while WAR and say GNB def lean on the masculine side.

I know it‘s an unpopular opinion but dancer is pretty uni-sex to me. It’s neither feminine nor masculine, i agree tho that WHM took a more feminine path with it‘s design, job gear and skills.

BLM. I like mindless jobs and playing BLM optimally is far from mindless. The long cast time makes it worse. I don't particularly like casting and BLM has the longest cast times. Dungeons are fun with BLM but I can not go raiding with it so....My favorite is Bard and RDM, have to think the least in terms of when to use what skill.

Black Mage because i hate being glued to the floor like that. Ironically it was my first job in ARR, but it also played much differently back then. Was more spammy back then, you fished for Firestarter and Thundercloud procs and that was the rotation

[TaleraRistain]

I main WHM and secondary DNC and I don't play tank. I have 80 tanks. I just don't practice them. Which is a shame because I was a Protection Paladin in WoW and loved it through thick and thin. I enjoyed being the one to charge ahead and wade into everything.

I also don't play NIN though I love the aesthetic. I just fudge up the mudras on a regular basis.

That doesn't have anything to do with the class itself. I have plenty of times on DNC when I'm the dps that survives. I did a Fulmination run recently with just me and the tanks taking him down from 40% on our second time of the rest of the party eating dirt.

[Curisu]

SCH and MNK.

I got my Monk to 80 with PvP, so that i don't have to play it.
I even failed the level 70 job Quest fight with the highest possible gear. Lucky the easy mode exist now.

And scholar is in my eyes a boring healer with a clunky pet.

[hynaku]

Healers don't main anymore. Once mained healer way back in 1.0 and 2.0 but not anymore. I don't like any of the changes they have done to them. Next is blm or any class where don't move and just stand in one place for the whole battle.

[Gothicshark]

A lot of healer glams are inherently feminine or are feminine leaning. All the healer mascots are female while the tank mascots are male. Not to mention things like whm animations lol.

... WHM and DNC are very feminine jobs while WAR and say GNB def lean on the masculine side. ...

Completely disagree with both of you. White Mage robes are reminiscent of Catholic Church Robes and Shinto Priest robes, Neither of those are Feminine, and Dancer reminds me a lot of a Dervish style (Turkish Men only dance) mixed with other middle eastern dancing styles. So it is very Neutral, more so than many other Jobs. Warriors and Gunblades are just as Stereotypically Feminine as they are Masculine, ie Red Sonja for Warrior, and the Anime Trope of the little girl with the massive gun is a thing, like a seriously common trope. To think a class is Masculine or Feminine is not only sexist, but it diminishes the class fantasy, because you are trying to place it in a fantasy that the job doesn't actually hold. For every Male Gun Tank character I can think of a Magic Girl, or Vampire Girl anime that has the same character but female. For every Male Barbarian Trope there is a female one with a bloody axe. For every Shrine Girl there is a Male Priest doing the same thing, for every girl belly dancing there is a troupe of guys spinning and dancing. Stop thinking so narrow minded, and English Prudish, and realize that Victorian Masculinity isn't the definition used for other cultures and nations.

I'm not big on proc heavy jobs (like Bard and Dancer) that, at any time, can have their hotbars light up in 4 different spots and say "hey, pay attention to me!"
In part because I can easily tunnel vision my hotbars, so this is a good way for me to suddenly stop paying attention to mechanics.
But also because I enjoy learning the muscle memory and rhythm of different boss fights, and proc jobs march to the erratic beats of their own drums.
